TR AI Summit – AI: The Real Deal

Turkey’s First and Largest AI Summit Opens Its Doors in October

As one of the most striking developments of the past decade, the age of artificial intelligence has left a profound impact on our lives. We now live so intertwined with this technology that we almost perceive it as a “real” entity. As we navigate this rapid integration and development, we must ask: where is this taking us? To seek answers to this question and explore the visions that will shape the future of artificial intelligence, Turkey’s first and largest AI summit will be organized under the theme “AI: The Real Deal.”

This special event offers a platform to explore the latest applications of generative AI technologies, sector-specific solutions, and the societal impacts of this revolution. With a diverse range of participants, including private sector representatives, public officials, academics, and entrepreneurs, the summit will examine how AI transforms business, employment, competition, and social interactions.

The summit will feature in-depth sessions, panels, and interactive discussions on groundbreaking projects, strategies, and policies that blur the lines between artificial and human intelligence. Participants will have the opportunity to celebrate AI-driven innovations, explore investment opportunities, and learn about the latest developments in the field.

Additionally, the summit will showcase efforts to strengthen the AI ecosystem in Turkey and position it competitively on the global stage. Keynotes from industry leaders and policymakers will focus on the ethical use and sustainable development of AI.

We invite all AI, technology, and innovation enthusiasts to this landmark event. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to shape the future of technology and explore the transformative potential of AI for societal change.
